About this audiobook
The University, a renowned bastion of knowledge, attracts the brightest minds to unravel the mysteries of enlightened sciences like artificing and alchemy. Yet deep below its bustling halls lies a complex and cavernous maze of abandoned rooms and ancient passageways - and in the heart of it all lives Auri.
Formerly a student at the University, now Auri spends her days tending the world around her. She has learned that some mysteries are best left settled and safe. No longer fooled by the sharp rationality so treasured by the University, Auri sees beyond the surface of things, into subtle dangers and hidden names.
At once joyous and haunting, THE SLOW REGARD OF SILENT THINGS is a rich, atmospheric and lyrical tale, featuring one of the most beloved characters from Rothfuss' acclaimed fantasy series.

The book is nicely written but the price is a complete rip off for what you get. The author has taken advantage of fans that are waiting on the 3rd installment of his current (and now, having lost the trust of fans, probably only) book series and he has ripped them off in the process. I am among many that lost their time for this author after this, what is basically a long poem, hit the shops at over $20 a book. Don't bother with this book. You'll feel disappointed and cheated.

As acknowledged by the author - it will be something you love - or not. I understood it. Whimsical almost nonsensical, better than I had hoped, and explained the answer to a question that I should have asked. Worth every cent to touch upon one of the most intriguing parts of the stories behind the University.
